Kathakali kathakali… Kathakalihoi kathakali…
Kathakali haa Jack and jill kittum aadikkittu
Kathakali aadikittu Mathalatha pola vandha

Iva vethalaiya pottukkittu Maadi mela yerikittu
Ambalaiya thedi vandha Thaena doy…
Adi panganapalli Pada padakalli
Bambara kannaa theettaadhae Oru sakkara valli
Oru sada velli Kulu kulu iduppai aattaadhae
En kannakuzhiyil konjam Mutham nirappi Male : Aaha
Oru chinna pillaiyaai Avanai neechal poda vaippen
Nuni viralaal avanai sundi izhuthu En noolin idaiyil
Sutri katti pottu vaippenae
Kathakali kathakali… Kathakaliaa haa eehae kathakali…
Hey eli vaala illa puli vaala Nee pompalai koottathu adiyaalaaa
Hey vidamaatten Hey vidamaatten hmm hmm
Vidamaatten vidamaatten Tha tatata tatatatata
Tharamaatten tharamaaten Naan tharamaatten selladi kalli
Vasaiyena solli vaithu Paadangal sollven

Kadavulae kaappaathu Kadavulae kadavulae

Hmm mm mmm mmm Ravi varma oh ravi varma…

Kathakali haa Jack and jill kittum aadikkittu
Kathakali aadikittu Mathalatha pola vandha

Iva vethalaiya pottukkittu Maadi mela yerikittu
Ambalaiya thedi vandha Thaena doy…
Kathakali kathakali… Kathakali…aa kathakali…haa
